Ganpati bappa Moriya


An eco friendly idol of Lord Ganesha on the right and idols of his parents Shiva and Parvati on the left in my home yesterday to celebrate Ganesh chaturthi.

Ganesh Chaturthi, also known as Vinayaka Chaturthi, is a Hindu festival celebrating the arrival of Ganesh to earth from Kailash Parvat with his mother Goddess Parvati/Gauri. The festival is marked with the installation of Ganesh clay idols privately in homes, or publicly on elaborate pandals. Wikipedia

However this year there are no Ganeshas in pandals due Corona.

Trimurti


The carving of Trimurti in Elephanta caves, 20 feet (6.1 m) in height, depicts a three-headed Shiva. The three heads are said to represent three essential aspects of Shiva: creation, protection, and destruction.
